Prep Progress Reports & Evaluations

All students enrolled at NEC Prep receive written evaluations. These include a progress report in mid-January and a final evaluation at the end of the year.

Progress Reports

Progress reports are sent out each December/January to give families an update on how the student is progressing in their private lessons. Students also use the information to check their certificate status and evaluation level.

Evaluations

Evaluations take the place of the penultimate lesson of the Spring semester. There are two different types of evaluations, and students may take either at the recommendation of their teacher.

General Evaluations (GE) provide an assessment of progress and achievement by a panel of at least two faculty members other than the student’s own teacher.

Students should consult their studio teacher for appropriate technique and repertoire requirements. Students not in the certificate program are welcome to take either a PLE or a GE depending on teacher recommendation. This evaluation is a valuable tool in preparing students for future auditions and is a required part of our private instruction program.

The evaluation date for the 2018-2019 school year is Saturday, May 11, 2019 for all classical instruments and contemporary improvisation. The jazz evaluation date for the 2018-2019 school year is Saturday, May 4, 2019.
